ADDITION TO TERRE HAUTE'S BUSINESS INTERESTS.

NEW AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT HOUSE.

JESSUP & GAUSE.

A THOROUGHLY LIVE B28TAJH,ISnMEXT,

The farming population in the rich agricultural region surrounding Terre Haute have been gratified to learn of the establishment here recently of anew and live agricultural implement firm, which has thrown such vim and vigor into business aa almost to startle the community. Mr.Gausc has had eleven years of practical experience in this trade, and no young "man in the "West has shown greater energy and dipacity for dealing in agricultural implements. Mr. Jessup is a practical and successful farmer who knows just exactly what arc the wants and needs of the agricultural community. Both are prompt, quick and clever—always on hands and ready for business.

The location of their house is 3(5 and 38 Main street, between First and Second. Everything is new, clean, and wellarranged. The size of each floor is 28 by 80 feet. The basement will be use* for storing reapers and heavy machinery, the first floor for sample and salesroom, the seoond floor for wagons, hay rakes, plows, &c., and the third floor for storing light machinery and machine attachments. This makes one of the fullest and most complete business louses in the. city.

in his Cincinnati Exposition speech, Mr. Greeley became very enthusiastic over the inventive accomplishments of this remarkable age. A glance through this immense emporium of agricultural machinery would have the same inspiring effect upon the average thinker. Comparatively young men remember the days of the reaping hook and of the wooden harrow, when wheat was threshed with a flail, and when corn was covered with a hoe. Now the triumphs of invention have been such that a large portion of the drudgery of farm work is done away with. The inventors and dealers in this machinery are public benefactors

Jessup & Gause buy all their implements, and consequently get the best. They sell no commission goods. Their plan of doing business is this If an implement sold does not do work as represented in every respect, it is taken back and the money or notes refunded. They have everything a farmer wants to till the soil, gather crops, and aid in all the varied labors of rural life.

DISPLAY AT THE FAIR.

The Mail ha* already referred to the very full and complete display implements and machinery made by this firm at the fair. A reporter much interested on Saturday by a conversation overheard between "two sedate farmers, one from Prairieton and the other from Sugar Creek, concerning the merits of this display. The conversation was about as follows: 5" If

P. F.—This is the show made by the new fellows who have located in McGregor's building. They arc sharp as lightning, and I tell you they arc going to open the farmer's eyes about the merits of machinery. Now. 1 didn't think that there could be much improvement in the reaper line, but the Buckeye State is* the most complete machine I ever saw. I shall have one next harvest, if I have to sell the machine I have now at fifty per cent. off.

S. C. F.—Do you know that these men have sold a car load of the Superior Grain Drill in the past two or three weeks 1 Four of my neighbors have bought the Superior, and they say those men are bully fellows to trade with, and that what they haven't got in the implement line, no farmer needs.

P. F.—A new broom sweeps clean Tbcpe men give great satisfaction. There is no doubt that they do have the choice machinery, and that they a-ic bound to give such bargains as to tenlpt one to buy, even if he don't want to do so. 1 bought one of their Mitchell wagons the other day. It is better made and has better timber in it than any other wagon $ now made.

And so the conversation ran on in an intensely complimentary strain. Curiosity led the reporter to examine more minutely the display of this firm, and lie was amply rewarded

THE BUCKEYE STATE MAOUXF.,

is a combined reaper and mower. Jessup & Gause have the agency for a district composed of the counties of Vigo, Clay, Vermillion and Snllivan,in Indianr, and Clarke and Edgar in Illinois. The machine was exhibited by R. L. Lukcns, the general agent for Indiana and Southern Illinois. Mr. L. is the oldest reaping machine man in Indiana. What he don't know about reapers ain't worth knowing. He will be on hands at "Buckeye Headquarters" at the Indiana State Fair next week, where he will prove in three minntcs, to any reasonable person, that his is the greatest machine ever invented. ••"•••••w.

It is impossible in a brief summary to condense all the points favorable to this machine, but a few of the more prominent are given below:

The gearing is so arranged that the motion of the knife can be reduced or increased at will by a shifting lever which is fastened to the foot board. By moving the lever forward yon get the quick motion, and by moving it back the alow

motion. The slow motion is used for cutting light, snd the quick motion for heavy grass. This is very essential in a mower, as it saves the machine—and by reducing the motion you lighten the draft of the machine in proportion.

The knife can be dropped so as to shave the ground, or it can be raised to cut eighteen inches from the earth.

There are two center bers, one for wheat and qne for grass, made of the best cold-rolled charcoal iron.

There are two rows of cogs by which the speed for mowing can be made fortyeight strokes of the knife to one revolution of the wheel, and for grain the strokes can be reduced to thirty-six to one revolution.

It is the only machine which has the patent self-oiling boxes, by use of which it can run twelve hours without replenishing the oil.

It has fewer parts with less gear than any other. It is a double-geared machine, and has this advantage over single-gear ed machines—that while the latter has from six to ten cog wheels, the Buckeye has but five. It is practically, for wearing purposes, two machines, as one set of cogs is inside, while mowing and another set while reaping.

It uses no spring or chain tighteners, and there are no little traps abont it to get out of order. The dropping attachments consist of a slatted platform hinged to the cutter bar, which is raised and lowered by means of a treadle under the control of the driver, and discharges the grain in the rear of the platform, in the best possible shape for binding, and it possesses, in the simplest and most durable form, all the elements of the most successful Reaper ever offered to the farmer. The reel is light and 6trong is run by two chains, and the pullies and chains are so arranged that the use of springs is dispensed with. The arrangement is simple and avoids the liability of breaking or slipping off of the chain.

It has the simplest and most complete arrangement for running the reel. All who use it affirm that it is the lightest draft machine they over saw.

It has no weight on the horses'necks. It is the best braced machine in the world.

The whole machine is made from the very choicest materials. It most positively has no side draft.

It is compact and simple in its construction. It has no cog gearing in the drive wheels to fill up with mud and dirt in passing over soft ground.

It has a solid wrought iron guard faced with steel, rendering it the strongest in use.

It can be started in the heaviest grass without backing up. The reaping attachment can be folded to the side of tlie machine, in order to get through gates or narrow lanes.

It requires less extras to keep it in repair than any other machine. Each drive wheel acts independently, thereby insuring a steady knife motion in turning the machine in either direction.

It has less levers, springs, trips and complications generally, than any other machine.

Four sizes of this machine arc manufactured. There is no question that there will be an immense demand for it next season.
